frisbee corner:
vertical stack is much misunderstood and overuse of h-stak presupposes that handlers can't go deep. h stack is a nice modification to what is now a windless national series. this is the year of hurricane chamique, the vertical stack team wins.

so, just ok. the foot is just coming around (thanks to my sponsor, aleve, 4 per day). last saturday i did 4x4 minute runs, and a hard monday run, so, it's improving. this past week was the intervals, then a couple easy runs. kids had a race saturday, i did 5 x 4 min intervals, w/ 10 min warmup, 90 seconds between intervals, plus additional easy running for 1:10 total. sunday was a juggling festival, learned 4 new tricks (clubs under left leg, under right leg, 5 ball flash (so i exchange 5 balls, but cant continue to juggle them), and a new pass (i.e, between 2 people juggling). oh, i was driving a borrowed car, so i dropped off the kids i was chaperoning (and my gear) and then jogged home 4.5 miles.
mon, 8 miles, with 10 x 1 minute hard w/ 1 min recovery mixed in at the end.
today, 35 minute run. probably a slow 4 miles. plus weights (3 x squats (bar only, full parallel squat, 15 reps), sit ups in the chair (leg lifts) til failure, pushups (3x20 w/ feet raised), chinups (3 x 7), side leg lifts (in the dip thing), back extensions (3x20).
my foot is improving, but not good. there is some smal chance i'll make it to nationals, but no promises. i MIGHT go play ulty this sunday night. bottom line, i'd be accepting of my numbers if i was healthy, considering i'm a MUCH better cylclist than last year: but i think THINK i'd be 5 seconds better accross the board if i hadn't gotten hurt.
nationals preview.
semis: sockeye v. chain. furious v. bravo. finals, sockeye d. furious by 2.
other quarter finalists, bravo, jam, condors, boston.
ok, i actually think it's jam's year, but i bleed green and red. too many years at nationals w/ fish and chain. so boys, put that last bit on the locker room door and fucking bring it.
my 28th birthday in 20 minutes. school is good. tommorrow, 1000s on the 'slow course', so if i go faster than 4 on them all that's good. the 1000's are longer than a 1000 though, so, i go into it only wanting to pick off some kids.
review of year goals:
guitar: my goal was to be able to play 25 songs. check. but i still need sheet music to do so.
running 5km: sub 18. uh, not looking good. but i've got 1 month of charging, and i'm on the mend. but i missed 8 weeks of training, so if i go sub 19, that'd be a win.
juggling 5 balls: well, i've flashed them, but i'm not fully there
skiing: sub 29 10km on a fast race day: tbd.
teaching: be better. check. accross the board, but i'm still bad/slow at grading. but preliminary work indicates i'm aceiveing the bigger goals (buy in, attendance, participation, mastery) without a bunch of easily graded busy work.
go throwback.

Happy Birthday!
re: teaching goals
attendance? is this referring to the teacher's own attendance or that of the students?
do they really make it a goal to make kids attend class? thought that was a given. guess again?
28th birthday? what a fucking liar!!!!!
happy happy, fellow podcaster!
corey, we're not all long in the tooth. but ah, the glory days of podcasting.
anon, re: attendance, attendance provides a snapshot of how the class is going in general. if they are disengaged, they will skip, be 'sick', whatever. this is mainly a casual observation, but it's as relevant in the classroom as it is in the workplace.
bl: thx.
